[PHP] Global vars
I have a question about global vars. Why is it that I have to declare a var global if I'm using it across included files. For example the only why I can get this var to work is by making it global. main.php ?php include loader.inc; include builder.inc; include render.inc; ? loader.inc ?php global $obj; $obj = new Whiz_bang(); ? builder.inc ?php global $obj; $obj-build_whizzer(); ? render.inc ?php render-html(); ? considering that if you took the could and just inserted the code form the included files into the main you would not need to make the var global why is that I need to when I cross files. I don't think I have read a good reasoning for this anywhere. My goal is simple to use as few global vars as possible which is why I ask. _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Thumb Drive Web Server?
Maybe a little off-topic, but does anyone have one of those USB thumb drives? Is it possible to load up Apache, PHP, and MySQL onto one of them? If you stripped things down, could it be installed on a 64MB drive (with a little space left over for MySQL data and PHP scripts)? Does anyone know if this works? It seems like this would be a great way to give presentations and demos of scripts you wrote. Just plug it into their USB port and show them what you made. Thanks for any info. ---John Holmes.
[PHP] php sessions
Hello,
i'm using sessions in my application but i found something strange.
when creating new session:
define('S_USER', 0);
define('S_USER_ID', 0);
define('S_USER_NAME', 1);
session_start();
$_SESSION[S_USER][S_USER_ID] = 1;
$_SESSION[S_USER][S_USER_NAME] = 'Michal';
when redirect on next page - session is empty but when a change first define to:
define('S_USER', 'user');
everything works ok.
So in session isn't possible use numeric indexes ?

[PHP] Smart URLs
Hey all, I was recently trying my luck at dabbling in some mod_rewrite stuff, and I have run into numerious errors. Basically my aim is to re-write my sites URLs so instead of being say, mysite.com/thumbnails?type=funnygallery=4 the URL is neat, similar to many sites who would have something like mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4 What ways are there of achieving this (excluding, redirecting the URL and creating the page say index.htm automatically)? I have tried mod_rewrite for two days solid to no avail. I am not sure if it is my poor coding or the fact that I am running apache2 on a Windows platform which are said not to support such a module well. If any alternatives could be proposed or even better someone could suggest a mod_rewrite routine which would transparently transform any url like mysite.com/whatever/4/6 to mysite.com/whatever.php it would be greatly appreciated. So far the rewrite you see below will work with mysite.com/whatever/ however the minute you add something onto the end i.e. mysite.com/whatever/4/ it will raise the error Premature end of script headers: php.exe, instead of loading whatever.php as intended.

Re: [PHP] massive words
Also, if you are really worried about placing too much load on the server,
you could use JavaScript to check the form submission on the client side

First, you don't need to explode and then implode - just use a different
var for the exploded array and use the original after the test.
My suggestion for testing (but you really must test it and see if it's
faster or slower than your method) is using wordwrap() with your max
word length and then check if any line is longer than your max allowed
length. The advantage may be that you probably use 10-15 as the max
length in real life and you would skip quite a few checks because you're
going to end up with several words on a typical line. I guess it *might*
be slightly fatser because wordwrap() is native to PHP - the job however
is more complicated, so you may end up with a slower version than your
current one.

hi all,
looking for some advice on the best way to approach this:
i have a guestbook running on a few sites, and occasionally we get
creative people who think it's a good idea to post messages with really
long words or URLs into the text, which totally mess up the layout of the
page.
what I need is an efficient way of checking the input for extremely long
words (say about 60-odd characters +)
I assume I just split the input by (space) into an array, and check
that
each word isn't longer than 60 chars, but this seems like a lot of work
for the server... although I am limiting the entire input to 2000 chars,
so
maybe this isn't too much work for the server?
this is what I'm using:
?
$word_length = 5;
$error = 0;
$str = cat dog bird mouse elephant; // illegal
$str = explode( , $str);
foreach($str as $key = $word)
{
if(strlen($word) $word_length)
{ $error = 1; }
}
if($error)
{ echo sorry; }
else
{
$str = implode( , $str);
echo $str.BR;

any ways to improve it?

[PHP] Payflow Extension Support
Does anyone know exactly what the status is on the Verisign Payflow Pro support for Windows? I've read the manual and all the user submitted comments. I keep seeing some reference made to a php_pfpro.dll that doesn't seem to exist. Is it still in development? It seems most people just exec() the PFPRO.exe, passing the arguments on the command line. This seems less than ideal and I would much rather use straight API calls if I can. For anyone else in this situation, what was the best solution? Unfortunately, I am tied pretty much to Windows for the forseeable future. What about coding a Java object to do the dirty work and letting PHP interact with it? By the way, where is a good place to find out the status on current development on the PHP language? Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Smart URLs
You can do this with just PHP, but I think php must be installed as a
module.
Basically place a file called thumbnails.php in your site route, then
whenever a URL like
mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4
i called the thumbnails.php is excuted, in which you chop up the URL, and
find all your varibles...
Here is a example of some URL chopping (some code I stole from my source)
/*
Sample URLs:
/s/1/2/SchoolName/StudentName/ -Shows Student Page (with ID 2)
/s/1/0/SchoolName/-Shows Students At School (with school ID 1)
/s/1/2/ -would work as well (name in URL for search engines)
/s/1/0/ -would work as well
/s/-Shows Schools
*/
$url_array=explode(/,$REQUEST_URI); //BREAK UP THE URL PATH
//USING '/' as delimiter
if ($url_array[1] == 's')
{
if (isSet($url_array[2]))
$url_sID=$url_array[2]; //School ID
if (isSet($url_array[3]))
$url_stID=$url_array[3];//Student ID
if (isSet($url_array[4]))
$url_sName=$url_array[4]; //School Name (not used)
if (isSet($url_array[5]))
$url_stName=$url_array[5];//Student Name (not used)
}
/*
There was a article on phpbuilder.com that explains the benefits and
pitfalls of this idea... Here is the URL:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 and I think there was a
follow up article as well

Re: [PHP] Include question
You're right, that wouldn't prove my point. However, you might try a
little piece of code like the following:
?
$a=foo;
$b=bar;
$c=foobar;
if ($a==foo) {
include($b.php);
} else {
include($c.php);
}
?
I hope this proves that includes are included at runtime because PHP
wouldn't know what $b and $c are beforehand. Apart from that, I'm
positive I read about it in a man page, but can't recall which, that's
why I didn't direct you to it ;-)

The global var wouldn't work. Even if both are loaded into memory before

the code, so only one would end up affecting a global var either way.
What I'm looking at is if each include .html file is 50K, am I loading
100K into memory and then running the script, or running the script and
only loading the appropriate 50K into memory when it's needed?

Here is a piece of code, that is close to doing what I want it to.
The end result I would like to have is an array that is simple to work with.
If the XML tag was issue-nameRED HAT/issue-name, I would like something
like the following:
$Tags['issue-name']. So I could print it out. Something like, print
$Tags['issue-name']br\n;
I was able to get a numerical representation of the array like, $Tags[5] and
the value of that tag was RED HAT, but then I would have to know what the
position of the data I am looking for in the array. I would prefer to know
the tag name and the array and get to the data that way. I know there is a
way to do this, but I just can't figure it out. There is a lot of
information on Parsing the XML file but not getting into a useful array, or
at least that I have found easily to understand.

//do queries
}
else
{
echo not validated;
include(form.html);
}
}
else
{include(form.html);}
Maybe that'll work. I'm trying to follow your logic. That will check for
the request method first. If it's POST, go on to validation. If it's not
POST, show the form. If the validation succeeds (validation == yes),
then do your queries, otherwise give an error message and show the form
again.
Works?

Subject: [PHP] New to PHP- Form Validation Logic/Design Question
I am *very* new to PHP am trying to write a tool where a user can
add
books to a library MySQL database.
The user fills out an HTML form. I do some form validation if the
form
entries are ok, I need to run some SQL queries using the form
variables.
I have the HTML form posting back to itself to do the error checking.
The
part I am unclear on is how to handle the SQL queries.
I was thinking that if the user filled out the form correctly, I could

Re: [PHP] still running the old version after recompiling??
Hello Jason, you have been right, I did a new one on a fresh php untared dir. And the new php install is recognized. But I am still fighting with the installation. I need freetype2 and I did configure it ok, compiled freetype, gd2 but still I am getting a: function: imagettfbbox() not found Php did not complain about not finding freetype. Maybe php compiled with freetype 1 but how come? This drives me cracy! I did install php on several machines at home running the same operating system like my provider is offering.

Re: [PHP] Apache, html, php and global variables
I certainly read your reply and tried it with the session_start as the first line of the php secion. I have since remove the HTML etc. The script appears to work with out error . I was able to set session vars etc and the script completed with out error and the session vars could be printed out at the end of the script. I then called another php script from my menu frame and was not able to find the _session vars which showed as blanks. I put the session_start() as first line of php block but this still did not make it possible to read the session vars. Do I need to use names sessions or what? Is there some setting that is required in the php.ini or apache to make this work? As I stated at the beigining of the e-mail saga what i want to be able to do is to set global variables which will be available to any php script. In particular i want to ensure that each user has an individual connection to data abse and that this is maintained through out the session. I have set the connection up to use the mysql_pconnect function, but I still need to reconnect in every script which uses the database.

I am not familar to imap clients, just want to get new email adresses running on this system. PHP page tells as follows: To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-imap. That requires the c-client library to be installed. Grab the latest version from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ and compile it. Then copy c-client/c-client.a to /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a or some other directory on your link path and copy c-client/*.h to /usr/local/include or some other directory in your include path. Huomaa: Depending how the c-client was configured, you might also need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/openssl/ and/or --with-kerberos into the PHP configure line Do I need to get this c library too?

[PHP] Compilation error
Hi, I am compiling PHP 4.2.0 on a RedHat 7.1 system with mnogosearch 3.2.3. I am running into a problem that I have not seen on my other RedHat systems with the same configuration (except Redhat 7.2 instead of 7.1), and that is that the link does not work because there are some symbols that are multiply defined. Specifically, ftp_login. The linker tells me that the symbol was first definied in mnogosearch-3.2.3/src/ftp.c, and also found in php-4.2.0/ext/ftp/ftp.c (the are other ftp_xx functions multiply defined also, e.g. ftp_close, ftp_list, same files). If I remove --ftp_enable from my config then there is no error. I cannot figure out how to have ftp support in PHP and mnogosearch also! This does not occur when building PHP on my other RedHat system, where both --enable-ftp and --with-mnogosearch=/usr/local/mnogosearch are used and the linker is happy. Can anyone give some advice? Has anyone encountered the same problem? Thanks, I'm stuck! Rich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hm, you're defining a session variable called 0? Because PHP will
translate the [S_USER] to [0] because S_USER is a constant defined as 0.
PHP doesn't allow variables to start with a digit, and I don't think it
will work in this case either.

You can do this with just PHP, but I think php must be installed as a
module.
Basically place a file called thumbnails.php in your site route, then
whenever a URL like
mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4
i called the thumbnails.php is excuted, in which you chop up the URL,
and
find all your varibles...
Here is a example of some URL chopping (some code I stole from my
source)
/*
Sample URLs:
/s/1/2/SchoolName/StudentName/ -Shows Student Page (with ID 2)
/s/1/0/SchoolName/-Shows Students At School (with school ID 1)
/s/1/2/ -would work as well (name in URL for search engines)
/s/1/0/ -would work as well
/s/-Shows Schools
*/
$url_array=explode(/,$REQUEST_URI); //BREAK UP THE URL PATH
//USING '/' as delimiter
if ($url_array[1] == 's')
{
if (isSet($url_array[2]))
$url_sID=$url_array[2]; //School ID
if (isSet($url_array[3]))
$url_stID=$url_array[3];//Student ID
if (isSet($url_array[4]))
$url_sName=$url_array[4]; //School Name (not used)
if (isSet($url_array[5]))
$url_stName=$url_array[5];//Student Name (not used)
}
/*
There was a article on phpbuilder.com that explains the benefits and
pitfalls of this idea... Here is the URL:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 and I think there was
a
follow up article as well
Enjoy

Subject: [PHP] Smart URLs
Hey all,
I was recently trying my luck at dabbling in some mod_rewrite
stuff, and I have run into numerious errors. Basically my aim is to
re-write my sites URLs so instead of being say,
mysite.com/thumbnails?type=funnygallery=4 the URL is neat, similar to
many sites who would have something like mysite.com/thumbnails/funny/4
What ways are there of achieving this (excluding, redirecting the URL
and creating the page say index.htm automatically)? I have tried
mod_rewrite for two days solid to no avail. I am not sure if it is my
poor coding or the fact that I am running apache2 on a Windows
platform
which are said not to support such a module well. If any alternatives
could be proposed or even better someone could suggest a mod_rewrite
routine which would transparently transform any url like
mysite.com/whatever/4/6 to mysite.com/whatever.php it would be greatly
appreciated. So far the rewrite you see below will work with
mysite.com/whatever/ however the minute you add something onto the end
i.e. mysite.com/whatever/4/ it will raise the error Premature end of
script headers: php.exe, instead of loading whatever.php as intended.
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/(.+)/(.+) $1.php [L]
Thanks for your time and hopefully someone understands what I am
trying
to say :), and as always any suggestions at all would be awesome!

[PHP] mysql_select_db problem
Hi, I'm a newbie, so please have mercy on my silliness... I've checked my formats, and can't seem to understand why I can connect to the db, but not select the db that I want to use. The following code always returns the Couldn't select database error. If I use the mysql monitor, I can select the database directly without any problems. Could someone point out what I'm missing? ? $db_name=mydb; $table_name=my_table; $connection = mysql_connect(localhost, user, password) or die (Couldn't connect.); $db = mysql_select_db($db_name) or die (Couldn't select database); ? Regards, Carol
RE: [PHP] php to generate statiscs
Look into cross-tab queries (I think that's what they are called). There is a good article on Devshed.com about it. You can do a query like this SELECT SUM(IF(Gender='M'),1,0)) AS Male, SUM(IF(Gender='F',1,0)) AS Female FROM table That'll give you two columns, one named Male, one named Female, in the result set. The result set will have one row, containing the number of males in the database in the Male column, the number of females in the database in the second. You could probably do the majority of your statistic queries this way. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Rodrigo Peres [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 02, 2002 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] php to generate statiscs Hi list, Sorry if this is a off-topic, but I really don't know where to begin.

Subject: [PHP] pcntl functions for task manager - comments?
I'm experimenting with PHP's pcntl_* functions using the PHP cgi ... I've
never written a daemon before, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of
information out there about how to do this with the pcntl functions.
So, I've read what I can find on the subject as it deals with UNIX
programming. The goal is a script that will run forever, checking a job
queue ... If jobs are waiting, use pcntl_fork() to handle the jobs.
To this end, I've come up with this pseudo-code ... Before going WAY off in
this direction, I'd like to submit this for comments by those who've had
more experience with this sort of thing.

2)Then do a count on the line to see how many records are after 17 and

It is easy if there is only one set, but I am not sure how to take the
remaining elements in the array and break them out 34 at a time until I
reach the end of the line.

No *real* reason - just two not-so-important ones: 1.

The second is much easier to read and understand, you must agree. 2. Speed There's an urban legend saying that switching php tags on and off would slow parsing down. I don't know if that's true and try to write pure php as you call it due to the first reason.

[PHP] Setting PHP Include Dir
Hi, I'm trying to set a PHP include directory for one of my sites. I'm on a shared hosting system, so I don't have access to the php.ini file. My plan was to do it using a .htaccess file in Apache - however I must be doing something very much wrong, as it isn't working. Here is what I've tried: php_value include_dir = .:/data/sites/site_name/htdocs/includes I've checked the above path by running phpinfo(); on my site to determine where its located on my servers hard drive. When I add the above line to my .htaccess file - I get a 500 Internal Server Error. My site is using Apache 1.3.12 and PHP 3.0.18, any thoughts on how I might get this to work?

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
However... From the point of view of someone who has worked in a company where diesign is separated from development, it is much better to have separate files with HTML templates with special markers (in the library I use, it is HTML comments !--element_to_replace--) so that the two processes are adequately separated. When all of the HTML is embedded in PHP staements, minor changes to HTML layout involve a PHP developer, whereas with template based strategies all they have to do is change the template. I believe that 'smarty' is the approved template libray, but there are several other worth investigating.

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
I would ask the question How much HTML before you break out of PHP and into HTML. My answer is any. Surely you're making the engine work just to echo stuff out? But are you asking for more by making it jump in and out between all those tags?! Short tags ... td bgcolor=?=$td_col? class=?=$prefclass? ... easier to read in Mixed? I think so. Also, pure coding breaks the HTML syntax coloring in my text editor! Simon Thanks Bogdan, That's what I thought, but I was beginning to feel 'guilty' the more I understood php.

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
Thanks Michael, Point well-made. I suppose doing it the mixed way might have repercussions later on if/when the site grows. Perhaps while the code is still fresh in my mid, it might be worth the effort to separate it. However, for a good part of the site, I've used CSS for appearance details, and controlling a lot of stuff that changes from page-to-page. It's very easy to change all or some of the pages from the CSS scripts. But, for the most part, not much of the actual php scripts COULD change, so that's why I've never bothered to separate html from php. Perhaps I wrong, but . . .

RE: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
I've noticed that many people on the list code in 'pure' php, i.e. ? print input type='text' name='fname' size='50'; // etc ? Personally, it depends on what I'm doing. I find that excessive use of ? And ? in my code gets distracting so if I need a lot of php code I will usually put the straight html into echo/print strings. If I'm doing something that is predominantly html with only a few php variables or some such then I'll do it mostly in html. Often if there's just a php code block I'll move it into an include and then just include it in normal html. This helps readability and lets me separate some of the layout aspects from the code logic aspects. In the end if it's valid it will work. My only real decision is based on readability for my own purposes. CYA, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] resolution
I was wondering if theres a server side variable that i can find the web brower resolution.
Re: [PHP] resolution
JavaScript does something in this direction - you can use a little JavaScript trick to get it - check some JS docs and mail me if interested and unable to make it. What you basically need to do is use a link such as a href=javascript:bla()Continue/a or, more transparent, create an intermediary page which only contains some JS which takes the user to the real page. The real page would receive the screen resolution either from function bla() in the first example of from the global code in the second. I believe screen was the object you had to look for in JS (as in screen.width and screen.height).

[PHP] Newbie Question - InstallShield PHP Installation with PWS
Here's a newbie question. I installed the Windows CGI InstallShield version of PHP to use with the MS Personal Web Server I already have working perfectly on my system. On restarting my PC and trying a very simple php script, I get the error at the bottom of this email. Unfortunately there isn't much help for the InstallShield version of PHP on the web site. I'd rather get this version working rather than install the manual version. Can anyone help? Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive. For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security. For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the manual page. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
I fell for this some time ago - but the trick is that
1. You don't do for ($i=0; $i999; $i++) { echo Line $ibr\n;
} in real life - you do stuff, call object methods, run queries,
whatever, and in between those you have both html and php - and the
remote machine waits for you to do all the extra stuff and _then_
waits for you to switch in and out of php for several times. I'm
thinking about switching in and out of php in a really-mixed context -
such as having blocks of html inside if() and while() blocks, stuff like
that where you get to parse quite a number of php tags.
2. Your server doesn't only serve one client at a time - I'm surprised
that you're starting with commercial sites and this piece of information
isn't *always* present in your mind.
However, as I said in my original mail, there's an urban legend saying
that [...] I don't know if that's true. So... I don't know if it
actually slows things down or not.

I don't mind about this.. I'm starting with comercial pages now and before that
I noted that any script you run at the server, you will only see this latency
if the output is buffered or you have a ultra-fast machine with a
super-powerfull navigator that can renderize the page before it's fully sent to
the browser..
Try doing something like for ($i=0; $i999; $i++) { echo Line $ibr\n; }
Run the script in one machine and the browser at another.. you'll see that the
client machine has the cpu burned much more then the server..
You can see this when you're trying to open that big-flat-forums
all-in-one-page.. you'll get sometime 1. to receive that, 2. to renderize..
Note that you can only see the renderizing time if you're on a fast connection..
What I do take care is about excessive database searchs.. that can slow down
the things since I'll probably will not have a reserved server..

Perhaps while the code is still fresh in my mid, it might be worth the effort to separate it. However, for a good part of the site, I've used CSS for appearance details, and controlling a lot of stuff that changes from page-to-page. It's very easy to change all or some of the pages from the CSS scripts. But, for the most part, not much of the actual php scripts COULD change, so that's why I've never bothered to separate html from php. Perhaps I wrong, but . . . I think it is a case of horses for courses - you are working on what sounds like a fairly small project, and templatizing your code may be more trouble than it is worth, so whatever feels best for you... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
This whole discussion made me really curious - so you might want to
check the attachments (access mixtest.php) for a very surprising result
(please note mixed.php and pure.php are exactly the same size so this
doesn't affect the test).

whatever, and in between those you have both html and php - and the
remote machine waits for you to do all the extra stuff and _then_
waits for you to switch in and out of php for several times. I'm
thinking about switching in and out of php in a really-mixed context -
such as having blocks of html inside if() and while() blocks, stuff like
that where you get to parse quite a number of php tags.

I gave that example to be a create a huge final page with the less time
as possible..
You never do that loop, but what about logfiles analysing? You have tons of
lines, probably splited by day, of all the accesses and whatever were done..
I did a some time ago a database of the itens from a MUD game.. I allowed
users to list the whole database, so they could read that and search for new
items for them.. but each item had 6 lines displayed, without tables or
anything, neither li/li.. only br and p..
when it got about 400 items, my PIII-733 321MB ram got under it's knees to
render that page.. it didn't have any fig or whatever that would need more
time to render..
I now that I'll not have a dedicated http server, but loosing microseconds
at each page on a server that has one thousand accesses per day is nothing..
And even if you're going to have that traffic you'll have better servers
that will deal with that and will probably run more processes at a time, so
a script that is coded slowly wouldn't break the other..
What I don't do is
...
if ($a == $x) { ?
trtd align=center?echo $a?/td/tr
? } else { ?
trtd align=right?echo $a?/td/tr
? }
...
That's really ugly! :)

[PHP] session security
Why can a user force php to create a session he's giving the name in the URL? Do you want me to list an half a dozen ways to get rich now with this holes? Does anyone understand the malice of this? Anyone can offer you a click on a session he's going to visit later and hijack from you? Anyone can post data in a black hole of his own and pass it around secretly? Anyone can place precise strings in a precise file location on a server? How is it that a user can force to have any session string, passed in the URL, being created, even when cookies are fully funcional and enabled? Is it possible that there is no policy on creating a new session? There so much fuzz about register_globals, and we let the user create the sessions they want? Shouldn't we check that's us who issued the ticket? How is it that I cannot find a decent reply to these questions?

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
I was getting a typical 2.5% more for pure PHP with the original order - switching them increases the difference to about 6.5% more for pure PHP. Make sure you run it several times before drawing any conclusions, BTW. Strange...

Re: [PHP] Determine overhead of PHP script.
PHP has a built-in mechanism for logging high-watermark memory usage by
scripts. Make sure you compile PHP using --enable-memory-limit then you
can modify your Apache LogFormat and stick %{mod_php_memory_usage}n in
there somewhere which will be replaced with the peak memory usage for that
script in bytes.

[PHP] Code dilema -- '.NULL.' or '.NULL.' or ...
Hi,
I'm having troubles trying to insert form data into a mysql db, the
thing is my client wants table data to be splitted, I mean some data
comes from the first form, and the rest from another form.
Then this is a portion of the php script.
// Add together proper fields to enter birth date
$fecha_nac = $ano_nac + - + $mes_nac + - + $dia_nac;
// Open mysql db
mysql_select_db(intertur);
// SQL query insert all data into a table
$query = insert into RegistroPersonas values
('.NULL.','.$nombre.', '.$apellido.', '.NULL.',
'.$direccion.',
'.$ciudad.', '.NULL.', '.NULL.', '.$pais.', '.$telefono.',
'.$fax.', '.$email.', '.$login_usuario.', '.$clave.',
'.$fecha_nac.', '.NULL.', '.NULL.' '.$sexo.', '.NULL.',
'.NULL.', '.NULL.', '.NULL.' );
My problem is NOTHING gets inserted !!!
I filled all empty fields with NULL values
It connects to the db but does nothing else
// Do query
$result = mysql_query($query);
// this script has a form at the end, where the remaining fields are
// filled
// and calls the next script, where the tables are altered
// there and the empty fields filled with the values retrieved
I suppose to use Update in the next script , to enter remaining
data, but I'm not sure because the first field auto increments,
and is the primary key.
TIA

MySQL has it's own NULL, you should probably be using that rather than PHP's.
// Do query
$result = mysql_query($query);
Do some error checking -- how would you know what's going on if you don't
check!?!
1) echo $query; // to check that it looks OK
2) $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); // to display any
errors
